FAQs
How do I determine the right size for these trainers?
Refer to the UK sizing provided. It is recommended to compare with your usual trainer size. As these are leather, they may offer a slightly more snug fit initially which can give over time.
Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?
These trainers are primarily designed for dry conditions due to their leather construction. While they offer some protection, prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended and may damage the leather.
What is the difference between this and other Karintha models?
This specific model features a smooth black leather upper with contrasting off-white and brown accents, distinguishing it from other versions that might use different materials or colorways.
How often should I condition the leather?
Conditioning once every 3-6 months, or as needed based on wear and environmental conditions, is generally recommended to keep the leather healthy.
Are these trainers suitable for athletic activities?
No, these are lifestyle trainers designed for casual wear and fashion, not for high-impact athletic performance.
What does 'co-branded tongue' mean?
It means that both adidas and Wales Bonner logos or branding are featured on the tongue of the shoe, signifying the collaboration.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dry or stiff
Apply a leather conditioner suitable for smooth leather to restore moisture and flexibility.
Minor scuffs on the leather
For light scuffs, try using a leather cleaner or a specialized leather erasing sponge. For deeper scuffs, a professional leather repair service might be necessary.
Outsole is dirty
Use a damp cloth or a soft brush with mild soap and water to clean the rubber outsole. Ensure it is dried thoroughly.
Water stains on leather
If caught quickly, blot the area with a dry cloth. Allow to air dry naturally away from heat. Once dry, condition the leather. For persistent stains, consult a professional.

Compatibility: Suitable for adult wear across genders. Pairs well with a variety of casual to smart-casual outfits.
Care:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry brush to remove loose dirt from the leather and outsole. For tougher marks, use a slightly damp cloth. Avoid excessive water.
- Conditioning: Apply a leather conditioner specifically designed for smooth leather periodically to keep the material supple and prevent cracking.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag to protect from dust and maintain shape. Avoid direct sunlight for extended periods, which can fade the color.
